Dear Xxxx:
In order to comply with final regulations under §409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, the terms of your employment agreement dated June 29, 2007, are hereby revised as follows:
The second and third paragraphs of the section entitled “Severance/Restrictive Covenants”
are revised to read as follows:
If you incur a Disability (as defined on Annex 1), you will be entitled to
receive a lump-sum payment, as soon as practicable following your Disability but in
no event later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in
which such Disability is incurred, in an amount equal to the target amount of your
bonus for the year in which such Disability is incurred, prorated for the portion of
such year during which you were employed with VWR. In addition, you shall be
entitled to receive payments of your base salary until payments to you under VWR’s
long-term disability plan commence but in any event for a period not to exceed 18
months from the date of your termination of employment.
If your employment with VWR and its affiliates is terminated by reason of your
death, your beneficiary or estate, as applicable, will be entitled to receive a
